Visiting UVA

Echols "Days on the Lawn"

Accepted students invited to join the Echols Scholars Program, and their parents and family, will be invited to attend one of the "Days on the Lawn" informational events held in the spring, generally March and April. The exact dates of these events change annually, and information is communicated in advance to prospective students accepted to the University. During Days on the Lawn, students and their parents will receive additional information about the University and the benefits of being a member of the Echols Scholars Program. They also will be able to attend forums featuring the Echols Director, Association Dean, and current Echols Scholars, as well as participate in other activities intended to assist students in making an informed choice when considering the University’s offer of admission.

Prospective Student Information and Visits

The Echols Scholars Program welcomes visits from prospective students at all times. We are delighted to have the opportunity to speak with you further about the program, but we do not conduct interviews and will not use personal contact as a factor in the Echols Scholars selection process. The Echols Council provides opportunities for prospective students and their parents to communicate directly with students currently in the program through the Echols Ambassadors program. If you are interested in speaking with a current Echols Scholar please use the following link: https://www.echolscouncil.org/welcome.
